"In July 1905, in Paris, a young Anglo-French woman called Marie Wheeler became the bride of a Swiss emigre, Johannes Schad. Immediately after the wedding, Marie and Johannes moved to London. And there they lived for nineteen years. In 1924, however, something happened to change their lives, and Marie, in many respects, simply disappeared. Paris Bride is an exploration of the lost life of Marie Schad, of whom little is known beyond a few legal papers, a number of letters, some photographs, the diaries of a friend, and her obituary. With so little else known of Marie's life, this book seeks to read her back into existence by drawing on a host of contemporaneous texts -- largely modernist texts, by Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, the Paris Surrealists, Stephane Mallarme, Oscar Wilde, Katherine Mansfield, and Walter Benjamin. All of the selected authors are connected with Marie through some coincidence of time, place, or theme. In an attempt to do justice to Marie's in-visibility, or to her un-life, Paris Bride takes as its guide Wilde's declaration that “the true function of criticism is to see the object as in itself it really is not.” In other words, this book seeks to evade the positivist or realist assumptions of conventional literary criticism, and instead pursue a post-critical method with its sources and texts. Paris Bride is not confined to academic discourse but instead draws on a range of literary genres and devices that are more in sympathy with the non-realist character of modernism itself -- devices such as fragmentation, flânerie, textual collage, stream of consciousness, imagism, perspectivism, dream-text, the absurd, etc. Ultimately, Paris Bride is a modernistic experiment in life-writing."

"Une partie de l'art actuel accorde au déplacement un rôle majeur dans la génèse des œuvres. En ce sens, elle ne fait que participer de l'histoire générale de l'art dans laquelle la figure de l'homme qui marche est essentielle. La façon cependant dont cette question est aujourd'hui traitée par les artistes est suffisamment singulière pour mériter une analyse à part entière. C'est ce à quoi s'applique cet ouvrage qui n'est pas un panorama de la fonction plastique du nomadisme mais un choix opéré à partir de recherches contemporaines (essentiellement Gabriel Orozco, Francis Atys, le laboratoire Stalker) exemplaires de cette question dont il met en évidence les règles et les mécanismes d'action.Apparaît alors un univers où le déplacement est non seulement le moyen d'une translation spatiale mais également un fait psychique, un outil de fiction ou encore l'autre nom de la production.
